FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
INFANCY,

INFANCY.
o, little child. thou bringest with thee still,
Az Moses, parting from the nery hill,
Some dim reflection In thine eyes,
Some sense Of Godhead, some indefinite
wonder
A of one drifted here unwillingly
Who knows no speech Of ours and yet doth keep
Some dumb remembrance Of gracious home,
Vhich lights his waking hours and ILLS his eleep
With precious visions which unbidden come: :
Some golden link which nsught Of earth can
sundef,
Some glimpse OF more glorious land and sea
O precious vision neeting past!
@, age too fair to last!
For soon new gifts and powers are thine,
And growing springs and summers bring
Boyho0d or girlho0d fastening,
And nerve the agile limb, and teach,
With the new gifts of speech,
The wonders that stand round on every side,
And Life's imperial portals opening gradually
wide.
NAMES AND SYNONYMS or GRAIN.
The natural inclination Of man to
name varieties of grain, fruit. grasses,
and vegetables after the individual who
may have introduced variety into. a
neighborhood. and quite as often the
inclination of theintroducer to suppress
the true name and give it his own,
have led to inextricable confusion as to
the true name in many instances. Mr..
Charles 5. Plumb of Geneva, N. T.,
has been to considerable trouble in
tracing the true names of some of the
better varieties Of corn, including flint,
sweet. and dent and also of wheat and
oats. In the west flint corn is little

PUNcTUALITY AND ORDER.
One Of the m any forms Of evil is /;
want of punctuality. the root of all evil
The unpunctual man is apt to thinI
that the greatest evil he occasions BY
his special intirmity is temporary in
convenience or disappointment. Blu
this is not SO. II one of his delays
should disturb only the arrangement
for one day Of a single person, he may
congratulate himself. Order is Hea
ven's first law, and the seco.l1. regular
routine, is like unto it. If the eartl
and the moon were to loiter in thei
course everything here would be ont o
joint. What bitter disappointment
and what serious annoyance and los
may come from letter little Too lat
for the post, a bill paid after the promis
ed time, an appointment not kept,
commission deferred! Note for your
self, and think of these things. Pune
tuality is essential to another virtue, re
liableness. DO all that you promise t
do, and all that you are rightfnlly re
quired and expected to do, SO that tn
hearts of all with whom you are in an
way connected may safely trust in you
Do this when you say you will doit, eve
if it be little thing, without being de
ferred by any but insuperable obstacles
CURE FOR BOTS.
An old recipe written in 1924 wa
found among the papers of the lat
Caleb c. Goodwin Of New Hartford
1t reads: ..Cure for the bots:-Give tn
horse a quart of molasses with quar-
of sweet milk, in one-half hour dissolv
one-half pound alum in one quart 9
warm water, and give it to your horse
then in two hours or less give you
horse one pound Of salts. the writer Q
this says he never has failed of com
plete cure. The molasses and swee
milk causes the bots to 60 and feed up
on the sweetening. The alum cor
tracts him and the salts carries thcr
off,"
